Wendy has worked for every major comics company, has scripted and painted two Beauty and the Beast graphic novels based on the original TV series, and recently completed a critically acclaimed 400-page erotic, futuristic reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe's Masque of the Red Death, currently in development as a Broadway-style musical thriller.
